She will wear Shweshwe

South African Shweshwe blue floral print ladies shirt from Quail By MailCurrently preparing for AW08, Quail will produce blue shweshwe shirts for women in sizes up to UK20. My love for this pattern (above) is ridiculous and bespoke styles have already been produced in this shweshwe print by special commission. Shweshwe blue is just the most fantastic shade of blue. Glad that Fashion Trendsetter agrees: "Enter the blue, consensual and serene blue, blue wave, a touch of the blues. Blue flower, bluebird, blue dream. Grey blue, joyful blues, undersea blue, antique blue. Delphes, hebros, Égée, thétys, Éole.--All aspects, all types of decoration on a ceramic feel. Azuleros, enamels, water colors, ikat, tie and dye, artisan weaving. Traditional Japanese and Indonesian decorations." I'm also introducing my new, thicker, porcelain-white seashell buttons from India, sticking as usual to Quail's 'no-to-plastic' policy. The shirt pattern has also been regraded for a more feminine but generous fit and shirt length. It is possible that Quail will expand and start to produce men's shweshwe shirts in the future.

I finally managed to link to your blog in the Links a la Mode for last week! Sorry it took me a while, the computer I had borrowed in Paris kept crashing whenever I tried to go on your post. It was probably too good for the poor PC!
